What is the top selling girl group of all time?

Answer 1

The Spice Girls have sold 66 million records and are therefore the best selling female group of all time. Destiny's Child were once awarded with the title of "Best selling female group of all time" by the World Music Awards, however, this took into account the solo record sales of Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle. According to Destiny's Child's website, as a group they have sold 40 million records wheras the Spice Girls have sold 66 million records. As a group, not accounting for the members solo record sales. Therefore, factually, according to record sales, The Spice Girls are the best selling girl group of all time. The Spice Girls are also, according to the BBC, NBC, Time Magazine, Billboard, and The Times of London, the most commercially successful girl group of all time. They embraced merchandising, marketing and advertising in a way not seen from a pop group since The Beatles and according to Times journalist and music biographer, David Sinclair "No pop goup since the Beatles commanded as much media attention as The Spice Girls." "Spice" is the best selling album of all time by a female group having sold 28 million copies. "Wannabe" is the best selling song of all time by a female group having sold over 7 million copies. According to the Times journalist and music biographer, David Sinclair The Spice girls are the most successful British group since the Beatles. And that "Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh and Sporty were the most widely recognized group of individuals since John, Paul, George and Ringo."
